99% of my mail goes right in the shredder. Therefore.. it can't be that necessary.
I'd guess I'm closer to about 50%. So if you add up all of us that have some % of our mail that's just junk it seems like there's at least something to try to help get the usps out of the red. Do away with the cheap bulk mail rates. All that crap clogs up the system, utilizes time, energy, and other resources to move it from point A to point B when it then gets tossed in the trash? Screw that. Charge more, a lot more, for it and most of it will disappear.
Ummm...no.
The USPS loses money on 1st class.
It is the bulk rate that they make the most money off of.
Get rid of junk mail and the USPS would lose 50 times as much.
